Two generations of military wives compete for time

After returning home, Sister Hao Xia's mood improved a lot, and the sad clouds on her face began to slowly dissipate.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia said to Qian Yizhen, "I'm here. I'll do the laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Your job is to take good care of the fetus and give birth to a healthy and beautiful baby." Qian Yizhen smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Sister-in-law Hao Xia said angrily, "Why are you being polite? Hahaha!" Sister-in-law Hao Xia's hearty laughter returned again.

Seeing Qian Yizhen's growing belly, Wang Min strongly suggested that she work from home as much as possible, and let her secretary Zhang Yuchen and driver Shi Jiayang make more trips to convey information, instructions and commands back and forth.

Qian Yizhen was also reminded that she should not be a micromanager at work, but learn to let go and let managers of various departments do as much as possible to reduce the burden on the pregnant president. Qian Yizhen gladly accepted the offer.

Wang Min emphasized: "At present, having children is more important than making money." Qian Yizhen gave a thumbs up: "That makes sense."

After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Sister-in-law Hao Xia and Qian Yizheng took a walk in the building.

Secretary Zhang Yuchen hurried over and handed the folder to Qian Yizhen. Qian Yizhen walked to the pavilion, sat on the bench, and began to work attentively. About an hour later, Qian Yizhen finished his work and handed the folder to secretary Zhang Xinchen.

Zhang Yuchen took the folder and said casually, "When I was going out, I met Zhang Yuhong, the manager of the housekeeping company. She looked very anxious and said that the housekeeping worker of Professor Chen's family had something going on at home and needed to take a few days off. They couldn't find a suitable replacement." "Which Professor Chen?" Qian Yizhen asked.

Secretary Zhang Yuchen thought for a while and said, "It seems to be Professor Chen Zhuoran from Jiaotong University." Qian Yizhen glanced at Sister-in-law Hao Xia, and said to Secretary Zhang Xinchen, "Ask Zhang Yuhong to my house." Secretary Zhang Yuchen nodded, waved, turned and left.

About an hour later, Zhang Yuhong, the manager of the housekeeping company, came to Qian Yizhen's home. After asking about the situation, she said to Hao Xia, "Do you want to try the job of a housekeeper?" "Can I do it?" Hao Xia said with wide eyes.

"Believe me, you can do it. How about taking five days off to give it a try? You know the owner of the house you are going to serve. It's Mr. Chen, whom we met in the restaurant yesterday." Qian Yizhen encouraged. Sister-in-law Hao Xia was a little surprised. It was such a coincidence!

Qian Yizhen asked Zhang Yuhong to provide on-site training to Hao Xia's sister-in-law, telling her the specific work of a domestic helper and what to pay attention to.

"I can see at first glance that you are a tidy and hardworking person. In this line of work, as long as one is diligent and has good vision, he or she will be able to do a good job," Zhang Yuhong encouraged sincerely.

Qian Yizhen went on to say, "Sister-in-law Hao Xia, you have to believe in fate. We met by chance at the Yunnan border a few years ago. Think about it, you and Professor Chen are also destined to be together." Sister-in-law Hao Xia nodded repeatedly.

It was settled. Sister-in-law Hao Xia went to Professor Chen’s house for an internship for five days.

Ming Yuanhui wrote: "Since the death of Battalion Commander Li Weiguo, the border defense situation has become intense. I cannot take leave to look after my pregnant wife in the near future. I hope you can understand. You must protect my little girl well, otherwise, I will hold you accountable."

Qian Yizhen wrote back: "My husband is on the frontier defending the country, and I am willing to stay in the rear and always be his strong support."

Chen Yalu from Lu Kaipu wrote: "Since we accepted the challenge to look after our great grandson, we have made active and thorough preparations and are ready to go. We plan to move into the provincial capital a month earlier than the expected date of birth, familiarize ourselves with the environment, and prepare for the battlefield. Is that ok?"

Qian Yizhen's heart was warm as she stroked her bulging belly. With the love of her husband, the support of her grandparents and the careful company of her younger sister, she didn't need much family love. These were enough.

Since going to Professor Chen's home and working as a domestic servant, Sister Hao Xia's mental outlook has undergone a tremendous change. Professor Chen has a better understanding of Sister Hao Xia and her family situation.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia also learned that since the divorce, Professor Chen has been childless and unmarried. Professor Chen's adoptive parents are also university professors. His adoptive father passed away last year. His mother, who is in her eighties, lives in the ancestral home on Guda Street.

In just a few days, Sister-in-law Hao Xia had a very pleasant conversation with Professor Chen and his mother and son, and they opened their hearts to each other. They both liked Sister-in-law Hao Xia's steamed buns, leek and pork dumplings and other delicacies. They liked her clean and efficient work style, her smiling face and sincerity.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Although sister-in-law Hao Xia was reluctant to leave, she prepared to go back, thinking that her daughter Hongmei needed her care.

Qian Yizhen said to sister-in-law Hao Xia earnestly: "I sincerely hope you can stay. You are very suitable for housekeeping work. I also hope you can be a good helper in my career.

If you want to come, just let me know. You are always welcome. I will help you get your residence registered and handle the transfer procedures for Hongmei. You don't have to worry about where to live. "Sister Hao Xia looked at Qian Yizhen affectionately and said, "Thank you, sister Yizhen. I have made up my mind. I will go back and discuss it with Hongmei. If she is willing, we will come to live with you." Qian Yizhen: "That's good enough."
